Partner Raymond J. Dowd to Speak on Stolen Art at ABA Annual Meeting in Boston
on August 8, 2014

Raymond J. Dowd, a partner in the New York law firm Dunnington, Bartholow &

“Stolen Art: Who Owns the Art Hanging on the Wall?” The panel, to be held

by the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law from
August 7-10 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel.

IPCENTRAL is a two-day gathering of the world’s leading IP professionals.
Topics of discussion range from the impact of the America Invents Act on patent
challenges to the portrayal of IP law in pop culture to recent Supreme Court
decisions on patent cases. Mr. Dowd and his fellow panelists will discuss
recent technological and case law developments affecting the traffic in stolen
art, including heightened legal and reputational risks now faced by museums and
galleries, provenance policies required to ensure proper chain of title to art
collections, and increased efforts to facilitate the return of art stolen
during World War II. Mr. Dowd will discuss his success before the New
York Court of Appeals in obtaining the return to the Pergamon Museum in Berlin,
Germany of an ancient Assyrian tablet excavated from the Temple of
Ishtar. For the full IPCENTRAL program brochure please click
